    Bangor, ME will lose 2 locals Midnight

    Any new info on this matter? I live in Holden but there is a hill between my house and Bangor. I have tried to get a waiver before and was denied because "I live close enough" but because of the hill I have not been able to get their signal OTA even with a large outside antenna mounted on...

    Considering a return to Time Warner

    I hope you have better luck than I did. I got a call asking me to switch and it would have been a lot of $$ savings. However, the installer was scheduled to come last Wednesday. I thought it was strange on Tuesday night that I hadn't received a reminder call confirming the installation so I...

    Considering a return to Time Warner

    I was considering switching to TWC from DTV as they are offering me substantial savings, no contract, no installation fee for a budled service. I would save $130 a month to switch but I have concern over the quality as well. Sometimes you do get what you pay for. I was wondering how the...

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    To this day, it don't seem right to not see him on the track anymore. Just can't seem to get used to it.

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    I believe that statement would be incorrect. Are you saying that approx less than 100,000 people (that attemdance number is higher at some tracks and lower at others) are all that watch the race on TV across the entire country? It seems that NASCAR would be in huge trouble if that were true...

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    and SPEED. Don't forget that Speed airs the Gatorade Duels in February from Daytona and they air the All Star Race In May from Charolotte Motor Speeday (formally Lowes Motor Speedway-but I believe Lowes let their sponsorship lapse at the end of the last year)

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    Well two years ago you had to pay for it and each channel had two dedicated announcers but my understanding is that it did not make enough money to continue it so last year we still got it, but it was watered down, if you will, quite a bit. The announcers were gone, it went from 5 channels to...

    Does anyone know if Nascar Hotpass will be back?

    With the Budshootout at Daytona in just over two weeks, I had hoped that we would have learned what the status of Nascar Hotpass was going to be this year. Is it going to happen and if so in what shape or form? I'd did a search in the forums for it but did not find any helpful info. Can...

    Updated DirecTV HD Locals Launch Schedule: November->March (And PBS Launches)

    Hey, be happy for us. There's not much up here (except snow and mud most of the year & mosquitos in the few days of summer that we do get) so at least let us have the option of a few more HD channels. ;)

    DirecTV HR2x Mass Lockups overnight 10/6

    Problem started at my house???? I started having problems LAST THURSDAY where if I shut off my receiver for any length of time it would not respond when I would go to turn it back on (I had to hit the red reset button and after it rebooted it would work fine). We also had a pretty severe...

    DTV Bangor, Maine locals

    You stated that the local CBS has not been turned on "yet." So should I assume that you are aware that CBS is coming?

    DTV Bangor, Maine locals

    I have or had waivers for the national Fox and ABC in HD. Will I lose those now? I would hate to have to back to SD. I am disappointed that the DTV is only offering the locals in SD not in HD. Howcome?

    Warning on Battlestar S1

    You are right that DVD's come loose all the time, however, until you see this case, then you have no idea. I have never seen hubs like this in any DVD set. They stick to the package, if the disc is not already loose then you almost have to break the disc to remove it from the hub and then it...

    Warning on Battlestar S1

    I agree, this problem has nothing to do with which format is better. It is about the irratating packaging for this set. Although since it is an HD DVD set, it would make sense for this thread to be in that forum.

    Warning on Battlestar S1

    The BSG HD DVD is hands down the worst set I've ever seen. You have to see the hubs that the disc's are supposed to set on to believe how terrible they are. There this "sticky' glue substance that sticks to the packaging and does not hold the disc's well at all. I was fortunate, as when I got...

    Samsung BD-UP5000

    Well it's been over a month since I've last learned of any new information about this player. Has anyone else heard a recent update? I would think that if it is still expected to out in December that we should be hearing something anytime and that it should start showing up available for pre...

    best deal for Christmas?

    I know that he wants upgrade but he has not been able to afford the upfront costs. He currently has the premiere package so once the initial costs are paid it should not be any issue. I guess I will go ahead and call D* and see what the say. I can't imagine that I'd be the first person to...

    best deal for Christmas?

    Maybe I should clarify. What would be the most inexpensive route to go in order to upgrade my dad's equipment for Christmas. Should I call D* directly or is there another way? Any constructive feedback would be welcome.
